Regarding the issue of steam flow rate
Thread Content
I would like to ask: what should be the steam flow rate for a reactor equipped with a steam trap, given that the steam pressure is 0.4 MPa and the pipe diameter is DN50? How is the condensate flow rate calculated? Thank you.
Refer to SH/T3035-2007 \"Guidelines for the Selection of Pipe Sizes in Process Units of Petrochemical Enterprises\": the steam flow velocity should be 30–50 m/s, while the condensate flow velocity should be 0.5–1 m/s
Flow rate has no inherent relationship with the strainer. . . The steam flow rate is generally fixed; what you should know first is the amount of steam, and the pipe diameter is calculated based on that amount. . You now know the pipe diameter first. . For this diameter, the flow velocity of saturated steam is generally taken as 15 to 25 meters
